Extra genital HPV-6

Abstract

The buschke lowenstein tumor is a rare sexually transmitted disease. We report a case of a buschke lowenstein disease sitting onthe neck, the back in addition to genital area. A 58 years old patient, without any significant pathological antecedents, presented for more than 3 years genital tumors gradually getting bigger. Dermatological examination found several ulcerated, exophytic, cauliflower tumors taking all the urogenital area, two tumors setting in the neck and one another on the back. Cytological sampling was performed, and the search for HPV returned positive. Other serologies have returned negative. The patient was subsequently treated by the urologist and plastician team. Complete exeresis was performed. An anatomopathological study was done which confirmed the diagnosis. HPV typing was done and confirmed HPV 6. The patient has evolved well and presented no complication. Buschke-lowenstein disease is a curable sexually transmitted urogenital disease. We report for the an unusual three location of this disease, which can shed light on the mode of transmission.

“…Four morphological variants of condyloma acuminatum are cauliflower-like growths, papular warts, keratotic warts, and flat-topped papules [3]. The Buschke-Löwenstein tumor-a rare STD characterized by verrucous lesions on the genitals and/or the perianal region-most commonly occurs due to HPV types 6 and 11 [4], and most commonly affecting adult males; although some case reports mention adult females and children [5]. Treatment modalities include an excisional biopsy, the application of podophyllin, imiquimod, electrosurgery, interferon or 5-FU injections, and CO 2 laser therapy.…”
